More like "our customers respond well to misogyny" which means they will change as our culture changes. I see it as more of a commentary than a cause.

That's only true if they have no effect. But I think it's absurd to say that superbowl commercials have no influence on culture. The whole point of advertising is to influence. I agree that their success is a symptom, but at that scale I believe it is also a cause.
I would rather somebody be an honest asshole. At least if they can admit they like being misogynistic, there's a chance they might get their act together one day.
But being willing to make the world worse because it lines your pockets? And then saying, "Oh man, it's not me, it's that darned business thing making me do it"? That's a sad rationalization, a total unwillingness to take responsibility for your actions.
